retro anti-communist fear-mongering

ran into this ad while reading the economy section of yesterdays NRC on the toilet this morning. It is easily the most amazingly stupid copywriting i have come across in a while. i mean seriously who on earth still worries about ‘the soviets’ anymore?

stupid deloite ad

    Also, isn’t “interfered in our data” odd language? Anyway, I’d call this no worse than average level of non-sequitur for branding advertisement, and not particularly involving anti-communist fear-mongering any more than the occasional ad that invites the viewer to imagine business “solutions” in the context of some form of historical combat is, say, anti-barbarian fear-mongering.

    Good to know that the last man on the moon has a business model 40 years later. ;-)
